The 2026 Winter Games are just about underway, and some of the greatest athletes in the world will be competing for two weeks at the Milan Games.
Although there are a few events set to begin the opening ceremony, the ceremony represents the formal opening of the Olympic Games. The show will include musical acts such as Mariah Carey, Andrea Bocelli, and Italian singer-songwriter Laura Pausini.
One of the main parts of the opening ceremonies is the athletes representing every participating country processing out onto the floor. So, when will the United States enter? Let's find out.

When will Team USA come out for the opening ceremony?
Typically, countries enter in alphabetical order, but there are a couple of exceptions. Greece always enters first, in honor of the country where the Olympics first began. From there, the countries will enter alphabetically, starting with Albania, Andorra and so on.
The United States will enter the ceremony third to last, thanks to the country hosting the 2026 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Second to last is France, thanks to the country hosting the 2024 Summer Olympic Games.
Italy, which is hosting the Winter Olympics for the first time since 2006 in Torino, will parade last. You can find the full parade of nations lineup via Wikipedia.
The ceremony is scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m. ET, and it will be roughly three hours long. That slates Team USA's appearance to be somewhere between 5 and 5:30 p.m.
